COLD AND SILVER.
Senator Teller's Bi-Metallic
Resolution.
He Wants Both Metals to be
Legal Tender Money.
An International Monetary Confer
ence Advocated.
The House to Vote on the Conference Sil
ver Bill Today—Congressional
Proceedings.
.'Associated Press Dispatches. 1
Washington, July 11. —In the senate
today Teller introduced a joint resolu
tion declaring it to be the determined
policy of tbe United States to use both
gold and silver as full legal tender
money ; instructing the president to in
vite the governments of the Latin union
countries and such other nations as he
may deem advisable to- join the United
fitatee in a conference to adopt a com
mon ratio between gold and silver for
the purpose of establishing the inter
national use of bimetallic money and
securing a fixity of the relative value
between those metals, the conference to
be held at such place as may be mutually
agreed upon by the executives of the
governments joining in it; and when,
in the judgment of the president of the
United States, a sufficient number of
nations shall have entered into such in
ternational arrangement, he shall de
clare the ratio so fixed to be the existing
ratio in the United States; the presi
dent to appoint not less than three nor
more than five commissioners to attend
such conference on the part of the
United States, and who are to receive
$2,500 and expenses.
The joint resolution was referred to
the finance committee.
Wilson, of lowa, offered a resolution
(referred to the committee on foreign
relations), calling on the secretary of
state for information on the subject of
an American citizen, Thomas T. Collins,
being deprived of his rights of liberty
and property at Manila, in the Philli
pine islands, and as to what action is be
ing taken in regard to the matter.
The senate proceeded to consideration
of the senate bill to establish a United
States land court and provide for the
settlement of private land claims in New
Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona, Utah, Ne
vada and Colorado, such claims being
by virtue of Spanish or Mexican grants.
The bill was discussed until 2 o'clock,
when the shipping bills were in order as
unfinished business.
The shipping bills were taken dp, and
Gibson addressed the senate.
He argued against the proposed sub
sidies for ships, but in favor of a moder
ate postal subsidy. He spoke of the im
portance of establishing a line of steam
ships to trade with the Congo country,
building a government dry dock at New
Orleans and reforming the tariff by ad
mitting commodities from the South
American states at lower rates of duties.
He appealed to thechaiiman of the com
mittee on commerce (Frye) to relax the
rigidity of his policy ; to allow ships to
be purchased abroad and sailed under
the American flag; to take the tariff du
ties off of materials, supplies and out
fits that go into the construction and
sailing of ships, and to accept as a com
promise the policy of giving postal sub
sidies to American-built vessels.
Coke said that if he bad to frame a
bill to place the American merchant
marine on an equality with that of other
nations, he would not commence with
taxing the people for the payment of
subsidies, but would take hold of the
shipping laws of the United States and
repeal them. It was simply impossible,
under the existing tariff and navigation
laws, to build up the foreign-carrying
trade of the United States.
Vest offered as a substitute for the
bill as to the American merchant marine
a provision for free ships to be used only
in the foreign-carrying trade of the
United States, not in coastwise or lake
trade.
The bills went over without action,
after an unsuccessful effort by Frye to
have an agreement to vote upon them
tomorrow.
After executive session, the senate
adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
The Conference Report on the Silver
Bill Submitted.
Washington, July 11. —In the house
today Perkins, of Kansas, presented the
conference report on the bill granting a

vate calendar.
Perkins moved that further proceed
ings under the call be dispensed with.
Agreed to—yeas, 130; nays, 55. Ihe con
ference report was then adopted.
McKenna, of California, called up the
private bill for tbe relief of Charles Mur
phy, of California. After a short dis
cussion the bill was passed—yeas, 100;
nays, 60.
Conger, of lowa, presented the con
ference report on the silver bill. After
it was read the question of considera
tion was raised by Bland, of Missouri.
The question was put: "Will the
house proceed to the consideration of
the conference report," and it resulted:
Yeas, 100; nays, 44.
The speaKer being unable to record a
quorum, the call of tbe house was then
ordered. On the call 154 members,
(more than a quorum), responded to
their names.
It was then agreed on the suggestion
of Blount, of Georgia, that four hours
debate be allowed tomorrow on the re
port, at the end of which time the pre
vious question should be ordered. '
The house then took a recess, the
evening session to be for the considera
tion of private pension bills.
At the evening session on the first
pension bill called up, Enloe, of
Tennessee, made the point of no quorum
and the house adjourned.

INGRATE SULLIVAN.
HOW HE TREATED HIS SECONDS,
MTJLDOON AND CLEARY,
Muldoon Is Mad and Offers to Train Kil
rain and Back Him to Whip the Bos
ton Bully—Jackson Could Lick Him.
New York, July 11. —William Mul
doon has come out with a long reply in
answer to the remarks of John L. Sulli
van, in which he says the Mississippi
affair has cost him nearly $2,000, besides
the loss of time and discomfort. Yet,
Muldoon says, Sullivan has never
ceased to vent his spite against him.
"From the time Cleary and myself
were arrested last January in this city,
up to the time the trial was
over, this great blackguard Sul
livan never offered one dollar
toward defraying the expenses of
Cleary and myself, who were his seconds.
Now it would have been little enough
for Sullivan to do after receiving all the
stake money and excursion money, to
have at least offered to defray our ex
penses and pay our fines. I stood all
the expenses and paid the fine, and
Cleary, who is a poor man, is working
now by the day for a small salary to try
and pay back some of the expense that
I was put to for him. This is why I
call Sullivan an ingrate.
"He once came to me and offered me
$5,000 to train him to fight Jackson, and
35 per cent, of the proceeds of all the
exhibitions before and after the fight.
This proposition was made only a month
or so ago.
"Now, if he will fight Kilrain again,
I will go on the other side. I will put
Khrain in the ring weighing 205 pounds,
and I will bet $2,500 that he wins the
fight in less time than it took Sullivan
to win the last from him, when Kilrain
went into the ring weighing only 178
pounds. There would be plenty of
money in such a fight, as Kilrain can
get backers for $10,000.
"As badly as Sullivau has acted
through the whole matter, I don't care
to see him whipped by the negro, and
hope he will have the good sense to let
Jackson alone."
WARWICK NOMINATED.
The Democratic Standard-Hearer In
Major McKlnley's District.
Columbus, Ohio, July 11.—There was
a supposition when the Democratic con
gressional convention for the sixteenth
district, in session atOrrville, adjourned
last night, matters would be harmonized
and a nomination made during the early
balloting this morning. This was not
the case, and the convention is having
great difficulty in settling upon a man to
put against McKinley. The first ballot
this morning (the thirty-eighth)
stood: Monot, 53%; Stillwell,
46).; Warwick, 34; Zimmerman,
41; Lewis, 7; Welty, 7; Sherrick, 7.
On the forty-seventh Warwick took
the lead, having 57 votes, but the at
tempted stampede to him failed to carry,
and the vote fell back. A motion to ad
journ until September third failed to
secure a second, and called forth cries of
"No," showing a determination to hang
together until the contest was ended.
Monot and Warwick were close together
on the fifty-fourth ballot, the former
still holding his 52'.j, and the latter
having pulled up to 52.
John G. Warwick was nominated on
the seventy-fourth ballot.
Warwick is a native of Ireland. He
is a director of several railroad com
panies, and owner of several hundred
acres of mining and agricultural lands.
He was elected lieutenant-governor with
Hoadley in 18S3.

Vancouver, July 11.—Edward D. Gal
lagher, the murderer of Louis Mar, was
hanged this afternoon in the presence of
at least 1,500 people. At 12:56 Sheriff
Fleming, assisted by deputies, marched
him out of the cell to the gallows. He
walked steadily, but resisted going up.
Arrived up stairs he sat down, and Rev.
Father Schram tried to get him to make
his peace with God. Gallagher said he
was not going to be hanged, and did not
care about eternity. The sheriff told
him he could say a few words to the as
sembled multitude. He made a
short stammering speech, saying he
was sorry to appear before them
in that position. An awful struggle
then ensued. Six men tried to pinion
his arms. Gallagher resisted strenu
ously, but after three minutes he was
secured, his arms fastened and his feet
tied. Tbe sheriff put on the black
cap and asked tbe condemned man
whether he killed Mar. Gallagher's last
words in answer were: "None of your
business." The trap was then sprung,
the man falling seven feet, and after
eleven minutes life was extinct.

THE FIRE RECORD.
A Disastrous Conflagration at Ithaca,
Michigan.
St. Louis, Mich., July 11.— A dis
patch from Ithaca this morning
states that a most disastrous fire
raged in that town last night,
and that twenty-eight buildings
were burned. Ithaca is the county-seat
of Gratiot county, with a population of
two thousand people. The town does
considerable manufacturing, and is a
prosperous place.
Later—Twenty-nine buildings with
contents were consumed. Loss, $28,500.
Warehouses Destroyed.
Martinez, Cal., July 11. —Last night
the hay warehouses of S. Blum & Co.
were destroyed by fire. The warehouses
were fortunately nearly empty, contain
ing only about sixty tons oi hay belong
ing to farmers, and not insured. The
buildings were covered by insurance.
Tho cause of the fire is unknown.
A Brewery Burned.
Philadelphia, July 11. —The breweiy
of the Henry Muller Brewing Company,

AMERICAN BISHOPS.
The Italian Propaganda No Longer Dom
ineering Them.
St. Louis, July It. —A special cable
gram to the Western Watchman brings
the news from Rome that the propa
ganda has arrested the appointment of
Bishop Bourke as bishop of the combined
dioceses of Omaha and Cheyenne. The
importance of the news arises from the
fact that it is an evidence that the prop
aganda will not sanction a Roman ap
pointment as against the recommenda
tion of the congress of American bishops.
On Bishop O'Connor's death the bishops
of the province were called together,
and sent three names to Rome from
which to choose his successor. It was
generally believed that»Vicar-General
Philip Brady, of St. Louis, would re
ceive the appointment. The bishops
will again recommend Brady. This
action is unprecedented on the part of
American bishops, and, it is thought,
indicates that the time for the arbitrary
government of American church promo
tions by the Italian propaganda is past.
A Subsidy Secured.
San Francisco, July 11. —Supervisor
Galindo, of Contra Costa count
thority for the news that all but $3,000
has been secured of the sum necessary
to provide a free light-of-way for the
Southern Pacific extension - from Mar
tinez to Pleasanton, and that the mer
chants of Martinez stand ready to guar
antee this sum to be made up, so that
the building of the road is assured.
SHAD SLAUGHTERED.
Great Numbers of Them Taken in the
American River.
Sacramento, July 11. —The Bee's Fol
som special says: During the past two
weeks shad have been coming up the
American river in great numbers, but
there is a useless destruction of them by
Chinese and Portuguese miners, by
placing nets across the entire river and
catching the fish in great quantities at
the mouth of Elder creek. Nets have
been stretched across the river for a
week, and the fish have been caught and
salted down in barrels.

Cancer of the Nose.
In 1875 a sore appeared on my nose, ana
grew rapidly. As my father had canceri
and my husband died of it, I became alarm'
ed, and consulted my physician. His treat
ment did no good, and the sore grew larger
and worse in every way,until f had conduct**
ed that I was to die from its effects. I was
persuaded to take S. S. S., and a few bottles
cured me. This was after all the doctors and
other medicines had failed. I have bad no
return of the cancer.
